Class Experience

In this class students will listen to an abbreviated version of the story of the Nutcracker adapted from E.T.A. Hoffmann's story "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King".  We will listen to some of Tchaikovsky's music that he wrote in 1892 for the ballet production and watch a few video clips from the ballet.  This music is considered to be one of Tchaikovsky's most famous compositions and the ballet is now performed by numerous ballet companies each Holiday Season but it was not that popular when it was first performed.  We will discuss the history of the ballet and talk about some of the more famous characters from the book and the ballet.

Students will be taught via google slides.  They will have plenty of opportunity to ask questions and comment on what we discuss.  This class is kept to four students or less to ensure each student has a chance to participate in the discussion.
